pp i n filfll May 13, 1895. Serial No. 549,163- (110 model.) Patented in England January 25, 1894, No. 1,685 in France April 4, 1894, No. 237,524, and in Belgium April 4, 1894, N0.109,322-

[0 all whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM SPEIRS SIMP- SON, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of 49 Battersea Park Road, London, England, have invented certain new and useful Apparatus for Drying Hair, (patented in Great Britain, No. 1,685, January 25, 180i; in France, No. 237,524, April 4, 1894, and in Belgium, No. 109,322, April 4:, 189 1,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object the construction and employment of a vessel with hollow comb-like teeth on one or more sides. Said comb-like teeth maybe arranged in regular or irregular order.

My invention will be understood by the annexed drawings.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation on the line w a: of Fig. 2; Fig. 2, a View from the handle end.

I purpose to construct the vesselA of metal of oval or equivalent form in cross-section, as seen at Fig. 2, and of any length to hold hot water. It is closable at one end by a screwplug 1).

C O are hollow comb-1ike teeth for the heat to enter, so that when the article is drawn under, through, Or ever, say, a ladys hair after washing, it dries or assists to dry it bysimultaneous combing for separation and warm heat. A handle D enables the article to be manipulated. The teeth 0 of the comb are comparatively wide apart, so that the hair can fall down between or that the teeth can penetrate and so separate the hair while the vessel is being stroked in contact.

What I claim is A hair drier consisting of a hot water vessel A having closable plug 13, comb like teeth G and handle 1) as set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereto signed my name, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 1st day of May, 1895.

WILLIAM SPEIRS SIMPSON.
